Episode 43 It’s something to congratulate (1)
When my veins were pierced, I felt my body become as light as a feather.
The perineal acupuncture point, which has been hardened due to accumulation of turbidity over a long period of time, has been pierced. Now, the only blood vessel remaining in the entire body is the poisonous vein heading to the Baekhoehyeol near the crown of the head.
‘It’s a success! Since you’ve mastered the Immaek, the Dokmaek shouldn’t be difficult either!’
The joy of Mt. Eugene was indescribable.
I was very much looking forward to the changes in my body that would come soon.
He calmed his excitement and moved the remaining bet to Danjeon. There, they planned to store up their strength again and attack them all at once.
Since the passage of the Immaek is open, it is only a matter of time before the Dokmaek is pierced.
After a while, a powerful wave of energy rushed without hesitation towards the poison vein leading to Baekhoehyeol.
thud-! thud-! thud-!
The poisonous veins are getting thinner. It seemed like it would break through if I knocked on it just one or two more times.
But the joy is short-lived. Yujinsan suddenly stopped the flow of energy right before the hill. This is because my heart suddenly started beating like crazy.
The pulse of my entire body became unstable and my body burned as if it were a furnace.
‘What on earth is going on?’
This was the first time I had ever heard of such symptoms occurring just before a bone transformation.
Feeling like I was about to fall into a state of confusion, I hurriedly stopped eating fortune-telling breakfast.
It’s normal for a body trained in martial arts to not sweat, but strangely enough, cold sweat was forming on my forehead.
‘What’s wrong?’
I thought about it for a while, but I couldn’t figure out the cause.
Isn’t there someone here who has experienced a complete transformation? I had to meet him once before he left for Macheonhoe.
After deciding where to go, Yu Jin-san got up from his seat.
* * *
“ha ha ha! “You said you were on the verge of a complete transformation?”
Unlike Baek-gyu, Jin-san Yu, who was sitting across from him, did not have a bright expression.
“It’s not something I would be very happy about. As I just mentioned, I couldn’t understand the changes that had come to my body. However, it is not possible to just force it. “Do you have any idea what’s going on?”
“hmm. That certainly didn’t happen in my case. Isn’t it because your brother is too old? “I’m not kidding, I’ve never heard of anyone who succeeded in a complete transformation at your age.”
As you get older, your body becomes full of turbidity, making it more difficult to transform. Therefore, it is common to think that even exceeding 400,000 is difficult.
However, Yujinsan made it possible after a lot of hard work. The only problem remains is that the results cannot be predicted.
“If something goes wrong with me, what will happen to my granddaughter? “This child has no blood other than me.”
It was something I couldn’t do recklessly.
After thinking for a moment, Baek-gyu stood up, clapping his hands as if a good idea came to him.
“Now that I think about it, Mayang, one of the Twin Death Gods, is staying nearby. Let’s go and ask.”
Ssangsashinui (雙死神醫). Eugene San had also heard that name.
The two brothers, who were nicknamed Maso (Death Doctor) and Mayang (God’s Doctor), were very famous in the Gangho because of their unusual actions.
Maso, the eldest brother, is a master of poisoning, while his younger brother, Mayang, has excellent medical skills that can even bring the dead back to life.
The problem was that if Mayang saved one person, Maso, the eldest brother, continued his eccentric streak of killing one of his acquaintances.
They justified themselves as an act to balance cause and effect, but because of that, they had many enemies.
“Is that okay? “I heard that the Twin Death Gods do not help others without receiving compensation.”
“That was all a long time ago. A few years ago, Death Doctor Maso was murdered by a Taoist from the Hwasan Sect. So don’t worry, let’s go.”
Then there was no reason to refuse.
Jin-san Yu also nodded with a brighter face.
“Baek’s younger brother has a wide network of connections. “Thank you.”
The two immediately left Paedomun and headed towards somewhere in the village.
The destination was closer than I thought.
As I drove to a corner of Gyeonggong, there was a shabby house in a deserted place.
“Have you ever had a rapid heartbeat or sudden change in body temperature?”
“That’s right. “How can that be...”
“Then it is something to congratulate.”
“...?”
I thought there was a problem, but on the contrary, it is something to be celebrated. I couldn’t understand what it meant at all.
Mayang continued her explanation with a brighter face.
“Too much turbidity builds up in the white blood vessels, making it impossible for the aging body to withstand the process of bone transformation.”
Baek-gyu, unable to overcome his curiosity, urged Mayang.
“But what is something worth celebrating?”
“If the metamorphosis proceeds in this state, Daehyup’s body will undergo rapid transformation to protect itself. In other words, the transformation to the old world and the transformation to the old people are taking place simultaneously.”
“What do you mean anti-Rohwan-dong? So does this mean that our Jinsan brother will become young again?”
Mayang nodded without hesitation.
What greater blessing can there be than this? An old man gets a chance to regain his youth and live a new life while maintaining his martial arts skills.
But for some reason, Jinsan Yu’s expression was dark.
“It’s half-ro-hwan-dong... so how young will you be?”
“It’s unpredictable. It could be middle-aged or it could be a child.”
It was impossible to just like it.
Wasn’t Yu Jin-san just worried about her granddaughter whether she was asleep or awake? If by any chance I ended up becoming a child, it would have been a disaster.
“phew.”
“There is no greater blessing in life. “But why is your expression so dark?”
“The reason I’m alive now is because of my granddaughter. “If something goes wrong, how can you take care of your child?”
When Jin-san Yu hesitated, Baek-gyu helped him from the side.
“How about when you get a little younger? Outwardly, you age quickly. “Because Seol eats well, he will grow up quickly.”
“But you can’t leave your child and go on an adventure. “I think we should hold off on forcing a complete transformation for a while.”
Mayang took a moment to catch her breath and spoke carefully.
“You must make a decision within five years at the latest. I realized that I don’t have much time to concentrate on Daehyeop’s energy and blood. “Right now, I can only hold on with my inner strength. If I don’t undergo a complete metamorphosis, I will die suddenly from old age within five years.”
Yu Jin-san sighed and stared at the blue sky outside the window.
‘Five years... That means we have to proceed before Seol turns nine.’
By martial standards, five years was not a very long time. As I trained a few martial arts, time passed by quickly.
First of all, I planned to hold on until my granddaughter got a little older.
“Thank you, it helped me a lot. “I will definitely repay you later.”
As Yu Jin-san tried to leave, Mayang urgently caught him.
“If you are not going to undergo a complete transformation right away, I will at least treat the injury on your left arm.”
“I heard that the Twin Death Gods do not heal others without compensation...”
“It is absurd to expect compensation from the person who avenged their enemies. Please give me your arm. That way, I feel at ease.”
He was unable to swing a spear due to an injury sustained by a disciple of the Shaman sect. There were more than one inconvenience because of that.
Yu Jin-san slightly stretched out his left arm with a half-confident look on his face.
“It won’t be easy because the tendons are damaged.”
Mayang smiled and opened the medical box.
It contained dozens of needles and surgical tools.
“If this level of treatment is impossible, how could I be called a god?”
Yu Jin-san also felt reassured by Mayang’s confident expression. It was a very encouraging thing.
When the situation went well, Baek-gyu smiled brightly and stood up first.
“haha! It’s great news that we can treat your injury. Then, get good treatment and come back. “It’s going to take some time, so I’ll take the kids and leave for Macheonhoe first.”
“I understand. “On the way, please tell Seol that my grandfather will be leaving soon.”
